APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Tom Callaghan’s dark debut is set in the icy cold of Kyrgyzstan. In the nation’s capital, Inspector Borubaev of the Bishkek murder squad races to solve the brutal killing of a young woman, stumbling into a cesspool of violence, corruption and grave danger. We were gripped by the vivid descriptions of forbidding landscapes and lifelike characters. With its harsh look at an unsettling foreign culture, A Killing Winter is an exceptional crime thriller.
